Welcome [ Info ]

Sharing Parents is a volunteer support group of parents who have experienced the death of their baby(ies) from the time of conception through early infancy.

The purpose of our support group is to provide an atmosphere where grieving parents with similar experiences can come together and share their feelings about their loss and the love for their babies.

It is also a place where parents express the love they had for their baby in their compassion for others, where they can give and receive emotional support by sharing common experiences and learn about the natural grief process while working through and resolving their loss.

Thank you for finding our web site.

We are here for you. We hope this site provides you with some information, some understanding and a great deal of support. We encourage you to click on our Links page and search for other groups who may serve you with additional support.

We want you to know that group "in person" support has a large value to it. It has helped all of us here at Sharing Parents to go to a support group meeting in our area and meet folks that have feelings similar to our own. Priceless friendships form throughout these hard days and healing is met through the kindness we give each other. We wish you support and healing.
